1 Andy Grove And His Role In Intels Success - 1,738 words
1. Andy Grove and his role in Intels Success When
I think of Intel, I think of Andrew Grove. That
may be due to my age, and the fact that I was too
young in 1968 to know that Gordon Moore and Robert
Noyce, pioneers in the semiconductor industry, had
left Fairchild Semiconductor to form Intel
Corporation. But I believe that my association of
Grove with Intel is due more to the tremendous
influence that he has had on the company as the
official and unofficial overseer of Intels
internal operations from the beginning. Even
though he did not join Intels executive committee
until 1976, and did not become CEO until 1987, it
is clear that he has been the leader at Intel
since the beginning. He has ...

Campus Involvement - 1,448 words
Campus Involvement Campus Involvement Once again,
as the fall semester rolled around this school
year, I was busier than the previous year. I have
always been involved in student life, and each
semester since I have attended Lee, my involvement
seems to grow, as do I. My first semester, I was a
senate member in the Student Leadership Council
(SLC), and I played intramurals. The next year, I
was a cabinet member of the SLC. I was stretched
beyond belief compared to my previous leadership
experiences, but I was very happy. This year, once
again I am involved more than ever and being
stretched more than ever as I am the Residence
Director (RD) at Tharp Hall as well as a senate
member on the SLC ...

Doll House By Ibsen - 1,563 words
... the changed woman she had become. She let the
illusion of the old Nora continue well after she
became a new person. Nora slammed the door on more
than Stevens 6 Torvald. She also slammed the door
on everything else that happened in her past. It
took time to evolve into a new person, but after
she did she became a person who could not stand to
be married to Torvald any longer. There is
foreshadowing hinting that Nora will leave before
the play is over (Magill). She says, "do you think
that [the children] would forget their mother if
she was gone for good?"(Kirszner 993) There are
three minor characters in the play, but they each
have a very important role. Kristine Linde was a

of perfection can be seen in Cammys description of
Patty Ann, "Patty Ann had her special expression
again, the kind that made folks say she was the
best. That made people not notice the rest of her
was just skin and bones. Her face was just
perfect..." (Hamilton 93). This image of fragile
perfection is what has kept women (especially
those of beauty) from being perceived as equal or
intelligent. I was surprised to see this image so
obviously presented until I realized it was
necessary for the character to function properly
within the story. However it is still obvious that
one of the oldest female stereotypes exists in
full force within the c ...

Mary Murphy: found dead in the East River at age
23 Margaret Johnson, also called Maggie, was a
successful seamstress and the only daughter of
Mary Murphy died on November 19 in the East River
where she was spotted floating atop the freezing
cold water. The cause of death seems to be suicide
due to a longing case of depression but there are
still tests being done on the body. Because of the
poverty Maggie was born into she did not have the
chance to learn how to swim which leads to the
thought of her getting hypothermia once she either
jumped or got pushed in the river. Maggie was said
to be a very intelligent young lady who was always

Night By Elie Weisel - 296 words
Night By Elie Weisel "Life is easier to take than
you'd think; all that is necessary is to accept
the impossible, do without the indispensable, and
bear the intolerable." This quote was said by
Kathleen Norris. I think that I agree with the
quote, and also that the quote was not being
sarcastic. One example of this quote being true is
in the book Night by Elie Weisel. When the Nazi
powers began to take over the country Elie and his
family didnt "accept the impossible". They thought
they if they stayed where they were, that the
whole thing would blow over. But they were wrong.
His family are sent to a concentration camp. He

how hard life really was for her family and other

how ignorant British Columbians really were, and
that we still do not fully understand what really
happened during the war. She also tries to teach
Canadians the culture of the Japanese. The novel

and faced mounting poverty. And did the IMF and
World Banks policies help them recover? The answer
is "No." In fact they made the situation much
worse. From 1980 to 1989 Brazil paid $148 billion
in debt servicing on a loan of $ 64 Billion. Ten
years later, having paid $148 billion on the debt,
Brazil now owes $121 billion. This illustrates the

status quo and introduce change opens the doors to
doing one's best. Challenge is the motivation
environment for excellence (Kouzes, Posner 39).
The only exception that needs to be brought out by
that is that we need to give people a change to
